The 7d with an aps-h sensor!!!!!!!!

(1/4) > >>

I put two features I want. We could have upped the mp's to 24 if you want, but you can just say that or what you want more than what I put in your comment. I know you all want 45-point AF but I shoot manual primes.

Thanks for taking this survey, if it get's lot's of Aps-H votes we'll send it to Canon. No reason the new prosumer shouldn't be a larger sensor..

Maybe they could even release two versions of the next 7d like the 7dc or the 7dh just like the x's and the s's of Canon and Nikon.

Where is the option to stay with APS-C 18MP? :-)

WarStreet:
Everyone would like to get the good stuff, then it all depends on price. ;)

This sensor is problematic for users which use wide angle lenses. Users will more likely use APS-C being able to use EF-S lenses, while others would like to use an FF to use all the glass of their FF lenses.  APS-H is more adequate for a small group of users, and these users won't compromise on using a 7D specs with APS-H which would cost around (or even more) the price of the 5DII. I strongly believe that APS-H won't be used anymore.

 




 

EYEONE:
I agree that a 7D with an APS-H would be great. But it doesn't make much sense for Canon to do so. The 5D Mark II stole enough sales from the 1Ds line because it had the exact same sensor. I don't think Canon would release a new camera that compete directly with their other 1-Series camera. Leaving Canon with two flagship series cameras that both have cheaper, equally sensored pro-bodied competition below them.

And you also loose the EF-S lenses as well.

Bob Howland:
If the next generation 1D is FF, then moving the 7DMk2 to APS-H almost makes sense. It would make a lot more sense if Canon had a 12-24 f/2.8 or f/4 lens optimized for APS-H in its lineup. Regardless of its sensor size and given a FF 1DMk5, I expect the 7DMk2 to move way up market and become the crop-sensor, sports-oriented, speed-demon pro camera in the Canon lineup.

Then again, maybe Canon will dispense with the mirror and optical viewfinder altogether and ramp the still image frame rate to 24 or 30FPS. If that happens, I expect the number of pixels/frame to drop, both because video doesn't require a lot of pixels and because too many pixels necessitates workarounds like row-skipping in video.
